So much of my job is this over and over again on a loop:

"So what do you think we should do in order to responsibly build the Torment Nexus?"

"You can't. It's a Torment Nexus. Stop it."

"But the Torment Nexus is inevitable!"

"It's not. You could just not do it. You could stop right now."

@evacide Thankfully my current job is not like this but this is how I feel when I look through software job ads.

@greg @evacide an IT recruiter actually said to me "if you're going to be ethical I can't help you".

@moz @greg @evacide That's pretty much every recruiter, everywhere, in my experience.

@moz @evacide I have a non zero amount of sympathy. If you tried to dress ethically you’d walk around in that one brand of sneakers and one or two T-shirts and get arrested for public indecency.
